Monica is passionate about her work. She is highly motivated and committed to work with people in the process of creating positive changes to their lives. She is interested in the idea that past experiences shape and influence the way we think and act in day to day situations.
Within the safe space of the therapeutic relationship, Monica uses Art, Nature, Mindfulness, Coaching techniques and psychodynamic theories to discover, explore and reflect on the creative adjustments developed in childhood. In that way, new creative adjustments can be formulated leaving the client more flexible, more capable, and more whole.
Monica is qualified to work with children, adolescents and adults. She specialises in stress, anxiety and depression.
